William Crawford Spelling Bee Winners

Colonel Crawford Local Schools had its annual spelling bee for sixth- through eighth-graders Dec. 6. Twelve students, four from each grade level, competed for the top spots. These 12 students competed earlier in the week against their classmates to earn the opportunity to move on this final Colonel Crawford bee. The overall winners are, from left, Erica Giles, seventh grade, fourth place; Karlie Kurtzman, eighth grade, third place; Olivia Marks, sixth grade, second place; and Chloe Carman, eighth grade, first place. These four will compete in the county spelling bee against students from Wynford and Buckeye Central at 7 p.m. Feb. 18 at Wynford.
